SPAB [Alliance member] has launched a guidance note, developed jointly with ChurchCare [Alliance member] which addresses the issues surrounding the appropriate care of historic floors.
Head of Casework, Emma Lawrence says: “ the SPAB has become increasingly troubled by the lack of recognition and importance given to historic floors. A great number of schemes are being developed without initial consideration of the beauty and interest of our historic floors resulting in an unnecessary loss of special and unique surfaces. We are pleased to have worked in conjunction with ChurchCare to provide this guidance to raise the profile of historic floors in church buildings as part of our Floors Campaign.”
